Birds, bees, and BRRR!

We are happy to announce that since our last newsletter we
have found a solution to our internet woes.Having changed companies (Globe Tattoo to Smart Bro) we seem to have our
best service yet. Here are a couple of dozen captioned photos that we have
taken since the first of the year.The subjects are bees, birds, butterflies, bunkers, etc., and BRRR!

Yellow-vented bulbuls and grey-streaked flycatcher puffed up to keep warm

Steve's sister Paula sent us this picture of Walter Kwiecinski's grave in Ft. Snelling. It's a lot colder in Minnesota!

This and the next several -photos are of assorted butterflies shot in out back yard

About Me

We retired in our mid-50's and moved to Corregidor, a WWII battlesite in the Philippines. Steve's father Walter fought and was captured there by the Japanese, but survived the war. Steve wrote a book about his father, "HONOR, COURAGE, FAITH: A Corregidor Story," which is available in paperback in the Philippines, and on Amazon Kindle worldwide.
Steve and Marcia loved to entertain guests on Corregidor and take them to out-of-the-way places on the island. They also host tours for Valor Tours, LTD of San Francisco.
